The minister of Finance, Mrs
Adeosun, has admitted that the plan to restore the Nigerian economy is being aided by the Lagos state government, as it was the
economic plan of Lagos state that the federal government is using to revive the
aggregate economy...
The Minister who has been heavily criticized by Nigerians, for her not being proactive enough, while speaking at the colloquium
organised for the APC National leader, Senator Bola Tinubu on his 65th
birthday, the finance Minister said:
“The economic template we copied from you is
now being implemented for the economic recovery of the country and we are not
ashamed to say it,”
“The impact of that template is that
many of the states are now copying it, especially in the area of Internally
Generated Revenue (IGR).”
The minister said Nigeria needed
multiple streams of revenue, adding that the country can have steady economic
growth if “we consume what we make”.
“We need to support the economy with
the infrastructure needed to create jobs for our young people. We will change
Nigeria by consuming what we make for Nigeria to survive,” she concluded
